I would go with the xbox. Only because I once owned one and know how damn fun it is.

You already have a PS2 and a Gaycube, don't bother with a XBOX. I mean really, don't get silly with the consoles.

Most of the extreme low end Home Theatres in a Box sound a bit wanting. If you are content with the system, I would choose it over the Xbox. Of course, PS2 and Xbox can be used as a DVD player, though not for s-VCD's/

I always try to opt for quality.

A really good DVD player can be had for $200.

The X-Box, which seems to be a fine console is also worth the loot.

But a DVD player AND a home theater system bundled together may be too much of a compromise with your intended buying price.

Sleep on it.
